Crooked Oak Farm 

Welcome to our little slice of heaven!

 

Nestled on 20 peaceful acres in the heart of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, our small hobby farm is the result of a shared dream between two  animal lovers—Daryl and Michelle. We met in early 2018, and it wasn’t long before our love for animals and the outdoors laid the foundation for what would become our dream farm.

 

Our journey began in early 2021 with modest plans: a few pet goats, a small wooden barn, and a handful of chickens. We started with Nigerian Dwarf and Mini Nubian goats, but quickly fell in love with the Mini Nubians—their floppy ears and gentle personalities are impossible to resist. Within a year and a half, our herd had grown, and our dream barn had become a reality.

​

Today, our main goal is to produce low-maintenance animals with exceptional breed character and strong, well-attached udders. We are committed to breeding for parasite resistance, aiming to create hardy, productive goats that thrive in a variety of environments. Our goats are machine milked, but they’re also wonderful to hand milk. We want them to excel not only in the show ring but also in milk testing, proving themselves in both performance and appearance. We use a combination of dam and bottle raising, which means all of our goats are extremely friendly and well-socialized.

 

While I focus on the goats, Daryl is passionate about exotic birds. He helps with the goats and alpacas regularly, but his heart lies in his aviary. He’s built a stunning space and is currently raising Great & Helmeted Curassow, Chachalacas, Jungle Fowl,  Pheasants, and several other species.

​

Since 2020, our farm has grown far beyond what we ever imagined, and we’re so excited to share it with you. Whether you're here to learn more about our animals or just stopping by to browse, we’re glad you’re here. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—we’d love to hear from you!
